Saturday's YPL event

[alt_sinistra]

YPL students:
Our first meeting with Mrs Pencarrow, for the mural and art project, is on Saturday at 2. She’ll present an overview of the project and common artistic techniques. We’ll then decide on a topic (bring your best ideas).

Finally you’ll have an opportunity to sign up for time to both work on the mural and for the tours of the Hogwarts paintings and portraits she’ll be offering (you’ll be expected to attend two over the next 6 weeks.)

Our guests are welcome to participate as well, of course, to the degree they wish - please come to the meeting and sign up for times that suit you.

Fourth years:
Due to a necessary meeting, I’d like to reschedule our class on Tuesday night the 13th.

I’m open to either meeting at midnight on Sunday (going into Monday) the 11th, or for two hours the following Tuesday (the 20th) beginning at 11 instead of midnight. If you’ve a strong preference, let me know and we’ll decide in our evening class next Tuesday.

Wizard! I'm really looking forward to it.

Do you think she'd mind if we asked her a few questions about how she became an artist, after school and all?

[alt_sinistra]

I believe she'd quite enjoy that, in fact. She's been most interesting in the meetings we've had, and very passionate about her field.

You'll be required to attend a couple of the tours she's giving, but she's said people should sign up for as many as they like once everyone's had a chance, and I know she has plans to look at a variety of different topics in those, as well.

I wonder how she learnt so much about the Hogwarts portraits...I guess I'll have to ask.

[alt_sinistra]

I believe she plans to spend a fair portion of her first few days here visiting them, mind - she's certainly read about them, but part of her interest in this project is a chance to spend more time with them than would normally be possible.

[alt_susan]

I haven't done it much lately, because we're all so busy now, but when I was a first year I used to talk to the portraits quite a bit, especially during spring term.

I bet I could have found out all sorts of interesting things, if I'd known the right questions to ask.

[alt_sinistra]

Perhaps this might inspire you again, then?

And I'm sure it's pleasant for the portraits to have someone take an interest occasionally. There's one in one of the hallways near here I have a chat with every so often.

[alt_susan]

Maybe so! Actually, I think that sounds like a good theme for a Teatime of the Strange.

Yeah, a few of the portraits would get shirty, but most of them were pretty friendly, which was nice as I wasn't much on people at the time.

[alt_sinistra]

I'm glad that's gotten better for you.

I still have the books Mrs Pencarrow gave me to prep for this - do you want to borrow them until Saturday?

[alt_susan]

That'd be brill! Thanks!

[alt_sinistra]

I'll bring them down to lecture with me tomorrow, then.
